Responsible and secure sourcing and local procurement<\/h1>\n\n\n

Our global footprint means we\noperate in many diverse jurisdictions,\nprocuring from and engaging with a\nbroad range of entities, ranging in\nscope and size.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To support this, our approach to our supply chain\nextends cost and quality, as we consider the\nlabour, ethics and environmental practices of\nboth our direct and indirect suppliers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognise that access to economic\nopportunity, either through employment or\nbusiness opportunities, can create sustainable\neconomic growth, reducing poverty and\ninequality in the communities where we operate.\nBy focusing on procuring locally, we seek to\ncreate value for our host communities and\naddress issues that may impede domestic\nindustry development and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We ensure responsibly sourced products, and\nexpect the same commitment from those we\nprocure from. We also support local procurement\nas far as possible, by collaborating with local\nbusinesses and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
